What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

    Woodbine House Home Lane Sparsholt Winchester Hampshire SO21 2NN

    Proposed Works: Reduction of T1 - Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) by 2-3 metres in both canopy height and lateral spread. Reason for Works: Decay is present within the lower stem, and Polyporus squamosus (Dryad?s Saddle) is evident on the tree, indicating internal dysfunction and a reduction in structural stability. The works are proposed to manage the associated risk while retaining the tree.

    (amended) G1: Aesculus hippocastanum x 3. T1 - radial reduction no more than 4m. The trees have grown as a group, and working from south to north, the second and third trees exhibit serious structural and physiological defects that render retention in their current form unfeasible. Tree 2 has a significant included union at 2m, a cavity at 5m W aspect (500 x 400mm), and a large cavity and bark de-laminantion at 12m E aspect where its appears a top has failed historically. Tree 3 has lost a large limb historically, with extensive cambial death around the stem at 1m, and colonisation by Cerioporous squamosus (moderate significance on this species). There is also an included union at 3m. Overall, the trees have grown as a group, and the failure of one of them is likely to result in upper canopy failures of the others into the direction of the prevailing wind. At present, upper canopy failure is entirely foreseeable, so a significant reduction is necessary. Reduce in height by 8 - 10m, to leave a finished height of 10m.

    Tall Trees Peach Hill Lane Crawley Winchester Hampshire SO21 2PZ

    T6 - Yew tree Height 18m to reduce to no less than 15m, radial spread 11m to reduce to no less than 8m. Arboricultural Justification: To undertake a sympathetic crown reduction in accordance with BS3998:2010 to maintain the tree at a sustainable size relative to its growing environment and reducxe end-weight thoughout the crown. The works will lessen mechanical loading on extnded limbs, improve the tree's long-term structural integrity, and reduce the liklihood of branch failure during adverse weather conditions. The propsoed reduction will retain the tree's natural form and amenity value whilst establishing an appropriate management cycle for this mature specimen. T7 - Sycamore to take back to source the first 4no branches at 35mm stem diameter Arboricultural Justification: To remove four small lower branches by pruning bak to source. The works are minor in nature and intended to improve canopy structure and provide appropriate clearance beneath the crown. The proposed pruning involves the removal of small diameter branches only and will not adversely affect the health or stability of the tree. (Amended)

    T1-T5 Beech - All 5 trees have extensive squirrel damage in upper limbs and branches. These are now posing a safety hazard to the owners & neighbours. Suggestion is to shorten damaged limbs and branches as appropriate to their lengths and amount of damage to reduce the risk of failure. Estimated reduction is maximum 3m but less if safe to do so & leaving decent growth points. 1 limb recently broke & fell into owners garden & the climbing inspection was undertaken & the damage was highlighted.
